INSIDE THE GUIDE

What’s inside the guide

The guide follows the route from finishing your training to welcoming your first coaching clients, in eleven stages. It starts where you are now, qualified, then moves through People, Offer, Essentials, Client journey, Systems, Online presence, Message, Visibility and Enquiries, to First clients.

Each chapter looks at one part of that journey, so you can read it from start to finish or go straight to the part that needs your attention now. Throughout, you’ll see what to focus on now, what to build on next and what can wait, with exercises, examples and checklists to help you turn ideas into action.
